die it known that l, LYNN B. li/lAT'lfEsON, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Pitts such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesome, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to thefigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in flying toys of the class setforth in Patents llos. 693,327 and 712,946 and dated Februcry 11, 1902,and November 4, 190b, respectively.

hily present device conteins certain novel features of construction overthe construc tions disclosed in the said patents, all of which will befully understood by .roferenceto the accompanying drawings, in which isillus tratcd an embodin'lcnt thereof.

in the drawings, Figure l is a side view of a flying toy equipped withmy improvements. Fig. 2 is a top or plon view of the same. 3 is afragmentary section of the device, showing the ports on a larger scale.Fig. 4i is a perspective view in detail of the ferrule. Fig. 5 is asection taken on. the line 5 5, Fig. 3.

The some reference characters indicate the same parts in all the views.

Let the numeral 5 designate a ferrule pro-- vided near one extremitywith a collar 5. The ferrule also has e'short projecting part 7,extending beyond the collar in one direction. On the opposite side ofthe collar the ferrule is provided with. on interiorly-projecting tongue8, adopted. to enter the stem 9 when the latter is inserted in theferrule. Myimproved flying toy is provided with a pair of inclined wings10, located on opposite sides of at central part 12, which is providedwith an opening to receive the part? of the ferrule. This central partis preferably provided. with ribs 13, extending on opposite sides of theopening for strengthening purposes; The outer ends of the wings arepreferably provided with elongated openings 14, whose function is toproduce a. whistling sound as the device rototes in the performance ofitsfunction. When. the parts are ossemblcd, the extrem ity 15 of thestone, which is pointed, extends beyond thecentrel part a sufficientdistance of tho WinP'S in order to to allow the device to spin or rotatewhen its pointed portion 15 engages any flat surface, the ceiling or awall. The point 15 is therefore of greater length than the verticaldepth 0 permit the spinning function without the engagement of the wingswith the surface which the point 611- gages.

The manner of assembling the ports is as follows: The central portion1220f the device is passed over the port 7 of the ferrule, after whichthe part '7 is upset or bent downwardly upon the central part ofthedevice, as shown in Fig. 3, whereby the winged portion of the deviceis held securely in piece. In order to further secure the device 111place on the ferrule, its central portion on opposite sides of the Webs13 is bent downwardly to engage the shoulder 6. The stern ll, with thesharp cued point 15, is then inserted. The tongue ll ind'ents thisstern, whereby thelatter is prevented from turning independently of thedevice. I

in operating the device the stern below the wines is placed between thetwo hends'of the user, zinc asthe hands are moved in opposite directionsthe device is given a rotary movement, wherebyit is caused to ascend byvirtue of the inclination of the vv age 10. As soon as the 1 oint 15comes in contact with the surfece t 1e upward movement of the deviceceases, but its rotary action continues, cousing it to spin like a topuntil it has exhausted itself.

Having thus described my invention, what i claim is- 1. in e device ofthe class described, the combination of e ferrule provided with a collernear one extremity, the ferrule having an interiorly-projccting tongue,a winged. part having a central epertured )ortion adopted to receive theshorter part of the ferrule and engage the said collar, the shorter partof the v ferrule being bent down on the central part of the wingedportion. to hold the latter in place, and a stern having; a pointedextremity, the stem being inserted in the ferrule and its pointedextremity projecting beyond the winged portion sufficiently to allow thedevice to spin upon a surface, substantially as described.

2. In a toy of the class described, the combination of a winged parthaving a central portion provided. with. strengthening-webs extendingoutwardly from the opening, it ferrule having a collar engaged by thecentral IIO part of the Winged portion; the ferrule being u set or bentdownwardly on the-winged portion to hold the latter in place, thecentral part of the wingedportion beingkalso bent downwardly upon thecollar, and an operating-stem inserted in the ferrule for the purposeset forth.

3. In a device of the class described, the combination of a ferruleprovided with a coller near one extremity, the ferrule having aninteriorly-projecting tongue, a winged part having a central aperturedportion adapted to receive the shorter part of the ferrule and engagethe said collar, the shorter part of the ferrule being bent down on thecentral part 15 of the winged portion to hold the latter in place, and astern connected with the ferrule or the purpose setforth.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.l LYNN BQ MATTESON, Witnesses: D. F. MCKEE, WILLIAM Ronmson.
